Murmuration - a photo on Flickriver

Murmuration

            I was going to the cinema this evening, straight from work. As I was walking down, something in the distance caught my eye, and I realised a large flock of birds was in an evening murmuration, flying back and forth, all wheeling and turning togther with astonishing precision, like a shoal of fish. 

Sadly I couldn't get a clear line of view, buildings were in the way and the flock kept flying lower and lower. I grabbed the camera for a quick zoom snap and short video, before they finally flew to low for me to see over the buildings nearby. Sorry they're not better images, was all I could grab in the short space of time before they were out of sight, but what an amazing and beautiful sight to just find as you walked from the end of a work day through the city - sometimes the world just offers up these beautiful moments like a present.
